British Legion Ex-Service Industries Ltd ~ “The Chair Factory”, Warminster

Wilfred Middlebrook in his newspaper serialisation ‘Highways And Byways In Warminster’ noted:

“Until recent years there was industry on Copheap Lane in the form of a ‘chair factory,’ or the British Legion Ex-Service Industries Ltd. One of their products was tip-up seats for cinemas, hence the local name of chair factory. This firm has now moved to new premises on Fairfield Road [Warminster]. The old chair factory lay at the eastern side of the footpath [from Warminster Railway Station to Copheap Lane].”

This part of the serialisation was published in the Wiltshire Times, Friday 22nd April 1960.
